Notes:
Betty Anderson, grandaughter of Cora Belle, gives some interesting comments about her Grandmother: There is a story of Mary Etta chasing a mountian lion out of the house with her brooom ( in the Dakota's )-- Another story of taking an injured Inndian home and caring for him and later having him return, bringing gifts for the children, and later, when the Indians went to war and were killing whites, this same Indian, along with friends, returned and escorted Mary Etta and her husband annd children through Indian territory and to safety. Grandma described massacre scenes they passed that were just awful. My grandmothers's older sister , Myrtle was forced into marrying her first husband, with an unhappy ending. The paretns wanted my granmother, Cora Belle, to marry an albino, but she ran away to Kansas City , where Mytrle was living at the time, and that is where she met my granfather ( a soldier).Children:
